Use Your Own Tanpura Sounds

Starting with version 2.0, TaalMala on Android includes many built-in Tanpura patterns with default Tanpura sound samples recorded from a real Tanpura.
However, for any reason, you would like to use your own Tanpura sounds with TaalMala, you can do so by following the steps below.

Record your Tanpura sound. You can either record just plain Sa sound or record the entire Tanpura loop sound (all strings).

If you record only Sa, ensure
that the file is named as "sa.wav" or "sa.mp3" (case-sensitive), depending upon the format. TaalMala can accept any mp3 or WAV files up to 44.1 kHz sampling rate.

If you record the entire Tanpura loop (all strings), you can name the recording anything.

Copy all these sound files to a folder .../TaalMala/Tanpura/ on your Android device. If the folder does not exist, create it.

If you copied file "sa.wav" or "sa.mp3" to this folder, then TaalMala will use the contents of this file as the base Sa for generating Tanpura patterns.
If you want to revert to the built-in Tanpura sounds, simply rename or delete the file "sa.wav" or "sa.mp3" (as the case may be), and re-start TaalMala.

Any other WAV or MP3 files in this folder (.../TaalMala/Tanpura/) will show up in the Tanpura patterns list on the TaalMala main screen. Note, however, that
for these custom sounds to play properly, they must be under size-limit of 1 MB when uncompressed (PCM).

Export Taals from Windows PC (to Android devices only)

If you have licensed Classic/Professional Edition of TaalMala on Windows and also Android Classic/Premium Edition, you can export the Taals composed on your PC to your Android device.
To do so, simply copy the Taal file (*.tal) to your Android device's .../TaalMala/Taals folder on its SD card and restart TaalMala (If this folder does not exist,
you can create it). The Taals read from the external SD card are shown in a different color code inside TaalMala Taals list.

Saving Composed Sequences from TaalMala Sequencer

If you have purchased TaalMala Classic Edition with Composer/Sequencer upgrade or Premium Edition, you can compose and save your own sequences of Taals. By default, these sequences are saved
in the folder .../TaalMala/Taals/ on your Android device's SD card with the name SequenceName.talx. For more details on how to use sequencer, please visit this page.

On iOS devices, the sequences are stored in the application's internal storage.

Saving Composed Taals from TaalMala Android Composer

If you have purchased TaalMala Android Classic Edition with Composer/Sequencer upgrade or Premium Edition, you can compose and save your own Taals, by using TaalMala's notational composer. By default, the composed Taals are saved
in the folder .../TaalMala/Taals/ on your Android device's SD card with the name TaalName.tal. For more details on how to use Composer, please visit this page.
